Quantum ESPRESSO: Structured Data

We present in this page the structured representations for the Quantum ESPRESSO modeling application, and for its specific compute parameters.

Application

Both operations required the diagonalization of arrays whose dimension is the number of Kohn-Sham states (or a small multiple of it). All such arrays are distributed block-like across thelinear-algebra group`, a subgroup of the pool of processors, organized in a square 2D grid. As a consequence the number of processors in the linear-algebra group is given by n2, where n is an integer; n2 must be smaller than the number of processors in the PW group. The diagonalization is then performed in parallel using standard linear algebra operations.", "type": "integer", "default": 1, "minimum": 1, "maximum": 100 } }, "additionalProperties": false }
